The argument that 'rewarding' (I use that term loosely) someone with a win on Big Brother has any kind of cultural significance is just silly, it's trash television that is increasingly irrelevant and such results have no reflection on people's own values
I don't watch the show in search of a new best friend I can relate to or to watch nice people having a chat, I'd go to the pub with friends if I wanted that

If that's the case why does it offend you so much if someone you consider boring wins? I honestly couldn't care who wins the show as it doesn't affect my overall enjoyment of the series. However I still wouldn't want a bully like Helen to win over someone who was nice/dull just because she was a big character. Also it definitely is rewarding because lets not forget they get a huge amount of money for winning.
